Movie Reviews of Lost in Austen
Movie Review: Dare I say it? -- absolutely fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars
What an entertaining tale! I found myself laughing at "Amanda", burning with embarrassment for her at times, and being completely GREEN with envy because she was doing what *I* have always wanted to do, ever since I first read "Pride and Prejudice" -- BE Elizabeth Bennett.
Mr. Cowan's performance as Mr. Darcy puts Mr. Firth's slightly wooden version to shame. He has an exquisitely mobile face and piercing eyes, utilizing both to perfection when giving us a Mr. Darcy who is mannerly and elegant (that "aristocratic languor" Amanda speaks of) but inwardly passionate. Sublime performance. Very enjoyable and completely believable.
WELL worth the watch, more than once. (Thank you, DVR. lol) Heartily recommended.

I TOTALLLY "LOVED IT"!!! Mr. Elliot Cowan as Mr. Darcy, VERY DREAMY, GORGEOUS AND PERFECT.....my personal choice will ALWAYS BE MR. COLIN FIRTH as Mr. Darcy! But Mr. Elliott Cowan - Bravo! You captured Mr. Darcy PERFECTLY! I also VERY MUCH ENJOYED Ms. Amanda Price role played by the VERY TALENTED JEMIMA ROOPER - LOVED HER! Ms. Rooper represented all of us (Mr. Darcy The Perfect Man Fan Club!) who wish we too could have a secret door to the past, walk through, meet Mr. Darcy, fall in love and eventually kiss him!! MMMMMMMM - OOps! WOW!!! PERFECT!! I recommend this DVD, it's really VERY VERY WELL DONE! The chemistry between Mr. Cowan and Ms. Rooper AWESOME!! This DVD is AWESOME!!! Long Live Jane Austen!!!!Movie Review: Austen for all generations
Summary: 5 Stars
This modern take on the beloved classic "Pride and Prejudice" is all out fun. The premise of what would happen if you could step into the book and meet the delicious Mr Darcy has many clever twists and outright laughs. It also enticed my 17 year old to put down Twilight and pick up P&P. We caught this movie on BBCA, and immediately ordered it from Amazon. We have watched it several times, and have given as gifts. The clever takes on many of the iconic scenes from P&P (favorite: Mr Darcy and the pond) invite you to join in on the fun the modern day Amanda is having with all of Miss Austen's characters.
I really recommend this fun film to all lovers of P&P, and to some Twilight fans, too!
Movie Review: Loved it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen this dvd advertised on Amazon UK and was hoping some channel would pick it up for US broadcast (Thank you, Ovation!!!). Jemima Rooper and Elliot Cowan had perfect chemistry, and the rest of the cast was just as wonderful. It's a must-see for any Austen fan, especially those who loved the P&P version with Colin Firth. There's a brilliant homage to it in one particular scene, which I didn't expect and just blew me away!
Also, you can catch the deleted scene where Amanda sings "Downtown" on YouTube, as well 5 behind the scenes clips. I read on the Amazon UK reviews that the "Downtown" scene was deleted from the UK dvd version as well, probably due to copyright issues.
Movie Review: Bought as a farce, now its a funny friend!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was bought for me by a friend who knew my obsession with period-piece movies and specifically all things Jane Austen. She scored because I rolled with laughter at this quirky Brittish tale where a modern day Londoner who is equally obsessed with Austen finds that a magical door into the world of Elizabeth Bennet opens up in her bathroom and Elizabeth herself walks out. Then, things happen and our new friend from modern day London winds up staying with Elizabeth's family while Elizabeth stays in London. Many many laughs come about from the various fish-out-of water scenarios and I happily recommend this to anyone who both loves period pieces and needs a good laugh!
